Answer:

There are 96 large tents and 60 small tents

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of tents of each sizes there

Let the number of 6-boys tent be s and the number of 4-boys tent be f

6s + 4f = 816 ••••••(i)

Ratio of large to small ( ratio of s to f)

8:5 = s/f

8/5 = s/f

8f = 5s

f = 5s/8 ••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

6s + 4(5s/8) = 816

6s + 5s/2 = 816

Multiply through by 2

12s + 5s = 1,632

17s = 1632

s = 1632/17

s = 96

f = 5s/8

f = (5 * 96)/8 = 60

eimsori [14]

Answer:

steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The series contains a combination of two arithmetic sequence series. The number series in the odd position (100,90,80,..) is an arithmetic series with a common difference of 10, and the even number group (3,10,15,...) is another arithmetic series with a common difference of 5.

2. sequence 1 (Odd): a₁ = 100 d = 10   next term is 60

   sequence 2 (Even): a₁ = 5 d = 5   next term is 20

3. next 2 terms of the series are 60, 20
